...increase of about 60% if one adds to the 1938 estimate $35,000,000 to be spent by the War Department for non-military purposes and $105,000,000 for rivers and harbors; both formerly were included as part of the War Department's expenditures. Another item of increased cost is interest on the public debt. From about $700,000,000 before Depression this has risen in the 1938 budget to $860,000,000, an increase of 23%. Now, however, interest rates are abnormally low. Since by 1938 the public debt will have increased over 100%, the interest...
...summing up John Skillman's "Squash Racquets", next to the contents of the book itself, perhaps the most important item is the arrangement and method of teaching in the volume. The whole work is thoroughly outlined in the simplest fashion. It is written in a form which is easy to memorize and understand.

...Museum, a fact he had long denied. There was also most of the peerless collection of Renaissance statuary collected by the late Gustave Dreyfus, a Frenchman who profited from the Suez Canal only less spectacularly than Mr. Mellon has from his banks, railroads, oil wells and aluminum diggings.

One made a grab at a necklace of square-cut emeralds and diamonds, the most obvious item among several hundred thousand dollars worth of jewelry that Mme Mathis was wearing. The jewels dug into her neck and she screamed. Furiously M. Mathis, who is 52 and does setting up exercises every morning, made a dive at the robbers. All three fell into the street and rolled...
College Holiday (Paramount) is one of those enormous, uninspired amalgamations of specialty numbers which Paramount issues periodically in the hope that sheer quantity will assure every cinemaddict of finding at least one item to his special taste. Strung out along a flimsy plot-about an eccentric dowager's scheme of turning her hotel into the scene of a eugenics experiment, and the hotel manager's counterscheme of supplying, as material for the experiment, young people capable of putting on entertainments that will attract paying guests-are a series of acts which show what has become of old-fashioned...
